alzheimers dementia blogs

Mike Donohue is a brave man. Courageous, direct, and bold, his blog energizes readers with a passion for action. Dementia Endured gives a hint in the title as to the nature of this talented writer: he will endure. And with a personality like Mike’s, it’s easy to believe that he shall overcome, as well!

His life experiences are opened to the reader, and his journey recovering from alcoholism to adjusting to Alzheimer’s holds its own fascination for visitors to his site. Mike’s strength and determination will remind readers that dementias are one area in which it’s best not to hold any punches.

THIS BLOG IS ABOUT MY JOURNEY FROM AA TO AD.

I have survived alcoholism from which
I recovered thirty six years ago then
Alzheimer's disease with which I was
diagnosed nearly five years ago. Both
have had profound consequence. They
are associated, one leading to the other.

I write about the experience in a book

THE FREEDOM ON NOW Part 1


In keeping with the theme I have been following, namely: “There is more than the eye can see” which comprise all of my blog posts since: 2-13-12

The series starts with the last:
and goes from there in inverse chronological order, 
(that is from last to first.) Click on any title to go there and read it.

The foregoing theme has to do with my musings about existence as it is beyond the view we have from the horse like blinders we wear in this world of ours. We simply do not see all that exists and impacts on us.

That series the theme of which is “there is more than the eye can see) speaks of the  existence of so much beyond our ability to see which intimately influences each and every action of our lives.

 I now switch from this theme to a series on how it all affects us in this space/time limited life. We do see the impact it has on us. This affect is so manifest in its effect on our lives we cannot deny it. We accept it is all a normal part and purpose of our existence. I have posted an essay I posted on my blog some time ago that I have revised somewhat which opens the topic and sets the theme. I have posted it in my Archive. It is entitled THE FREEDOM ON NOW Part 1. Click on the title to go there and read it.

Boiled out to its essentials I deduce that as we screw around with all the talents, all the baubles, all there is to acquire and be in this life, as is normal and expected, we at some point need to come to terms with who we are in what we are doing. If we can do this we can experience an Epiphany through which we direct everything we are, everything we have become, to fulfilling the purpose of coming into this life and leaving it better for the experience of it.
